"THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thursday, July 2nd, 1959 Using Public Pressure ¢ The mass resignation of some twenty- eight executive officers of CBC in protest over a policy change' in the operation of the radio network is disturbing. Those who resigned may have been Justified, and, no doubt, they felt that they had 'good reason for their action. The disturb- ing thing is that it now begins to look as a kind of legal blackmail. | : Instead of differences in opinion being worked out in conference; instead of ex- changing straight hard words and getting the matter cleaned up within the manage- ment of the organization, the dissatisfied faction or group gets together and says let's air the whole thing in public. We'll resign in a body and get the reporters to highlight our action in the press. In this way we can embarress our opposition; in this way we can force the government into some defensive action; in this way we - stand a lot better chance of getting our own way. The whole thing smacks of childish hysteria and decisions are made and unmade with each new edition of the paper. It strikes us that this is not very intelligent behaviour. This is exactly the sort of thing that did 80 much to wreck the morale and the or- ganization of the United College, Winni- The Good Old Days Whatever we may think of the good old days few of us would willingly go back to the time when people used the following remedies to combat ailments. 'Toad- ointment -- for sprains, strains, lame back, rheumatism, caked breasts, etc. (what was further included in etc., we leave to your imagination). Good sized live toads, four in number, put into boiling water and cooked very soft; then take them out and boil the water down 'to one-half pint. Then add fresh churned butter, unsalted, 1 pound, and sim- Notes and Comments bY Se peg. This is the sort of thing that forced the CBC strike in Quebec to run the whole - gamut of farcial nonsense. . Our society hasn't discovered how to use publicity in ison best interest. = Pub- . licity is a very /powerful weapon, but it is a two-edged sword. Too often we use it to destroy what is best instead of to protect us from the worst, The long episode in the States indicates to what ridiculous lengths the misuse of publicity can go. Ap- parently a mentally ill Governor sits in of- fice as the tool of a corrupt political machine simply because the machine knows how +to play on public emotions through the press. There is no phase of western society in which exploitation pays off the way it does through publicity. There is nothing in our society that re- duces us so quickly to the stature of pup- pets and minions; there is nothing that so readily exposes us to the ridicules of the rest of the world. It's time we learned how to use publicity wisely and how to pre-. vent its misuse. The public forum hastily thrown to- gether by a sensational public press is no fit arbiter of any value or any intelligent action and it's about time we frankly ad- mitted it. The prescription was taken from Dr. Chases' Recipes by A. W. Chase, M.D. Practical Therapeutist. The book was published in London, Ontario by E. A. Tay- lor, Bookseller and Stationer. The year was 1868. Another gem: Soot Coffee, has cured may cases of ague after everything else had failed. It is made as follows: Soot scraped from the chimney (must not be taken from stove- pipes), one tablespoon full steeped in one pint of water and settled with one egg beaten up in a little water--three times -fthat was held in the Scout Hall.

At the last add tincture of other coffee. daily with sugar and cream in place of Medicine has certainly made a few strides at least. Perhaps that is one rea- son we live a little longer. District Churches Scugog, Manchester and Prospect Two events of special importance took place last week. First, we had a fine gathering of Young People at Taylor's Park on Wednesday after- = noon. 'The -boys "and girls enjoyed swimming, volley ball, and just stroll- ing around. The Taylors are to be congratulated for creating such a love- ly recreational centre in so short a time, Just as we were about ready fe for supper, the rain began to fall Our belief, and faith, and hope that it would be over shortly. did not ma- i terialize. We really had faith, for we got the tables ready, but the rain did not cease. So we went to Greenbank Church, had our supper, sang some of the old favourite Hymns, and then saw pictures taken by Rev. .Cooper which were much ejoyed. A number went to the hall after for dancing. The second event was the social evening held at Scugog Head Church on Fri- -.day night when twenty eight Bridal gowns were modelled. Say what you like, our parents and grandparents had style too. They were dignified in their long flowing robes, Their gowns would only cost a fraction of today's cost; and five dollars was quite a sum to pay for workmanship. A full "8 account will be given, so musn't re- y peat. The church was crowded, and / by the happy expressions on faces, the evening was thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for the wonderful way you ar- ranged the program Rita Reader and your helpers, and to all who contribut- ed gowns, and to those' who modelled them. No doubt there will be another such evening somewhere, sometime soon.. ' The services on Sunday were well at- tended, especially at Manchester, It is a thrill to have all three services so well attended, Prospect and Scugeg Churches were filled, and Manchester about two-thirds. We missed the choir at Manchester. Thanks for playing for us Mina Steer. All three . organists have been so faithful during : the Winter months, that it only seems right to give them a rest during the Summer, At Prospect we have Joanne Mosienko, and at Scugog Mrs. Bra- WS cet ing many of the older girls 'with our choir on Sunday, and with the addition of Leland James in the tenor section, we can hold our own. In addition to the anthem, there will be a duet or solo or some other musical number each Sunday at Scugog Church during the summer. Choir practice is only for a short period on Thursday even- ings, and we have very congenial groups. You who have sang with us before, why not drop in and help us? There are so many people who like to see things done. Those who derive the most pleasure are those who help. Our Cubs and Scouts are going on a trip to Orillia this Saturday, and will join with hundreds of others in being presented to the Queen. The boys and their leaders will be at Manchester at 1.00 -pm. to take the bus. All must be in full atttire, and please bring a lunch with you. There will be further little excursions from time to time, as plans are being made for week-end camps not very far away from Manchester. In time we hope to have proper equipment, and make the camp available to our girls toe. How many girls in the Manchester-Prog- pect area would be interested in form- ing a Brownie Pack and Guide Troop? Speak to your Minister about it, and maybe something might be done in the Fall. We have been trying to get a bus load of Brownjes and Guides and mothers to go to Orillia on Saturday with the boys; but we have to call it off, as all that we can muster is 20, which is just about half the number required. It is a bad week-end for the girls to organize a trip, as the Port Perry girls are entertaining girls from the United States, and nine of our girls are going to camp. However, there is still a possibility that we might go to Port Hope when Her Majesty passes there on her way back from the West. Today (Tuesday) we have a faneral when Mrs. Gorrill of Port Perry will be laid to rest. Two years ago she lost her husband, and now she has gone to join him. ' Our deepest sym-' pathy to the daughters, Mrs. Gibson ham. We certainly appreciated hav- and Mrs, Wallace, And then on Sat- ERA has . -- a A A SP se urday one of our boys, Gary Edgar, will be married in Scugog Church, We will tell you about it in our next issue. Happy birthdays to James Ashbridge, Dianne Fralick, Kaye Jackson, Lina Fralick and Jo Ann Martyn of the Is- land, and to Donovan Smith, Prospect. We give a very cordial invitation to all'who are able to come and worship with us on Sunday, and a warm wel- come to all who are holidaying in our area. The holidays will be more en- Joyable if worship is given a place. Calf and Grain Clubs Meet 'The Oshawa Kiwanis 4-H Dairy Calf and 4-H Grain Clubs met at the farm of Harold Werry & Son, Osh- awa, R. 2, on Monday, June 22, 1959, The main theme of the evening programme was Farm and Home Safe- ty. The boys and girls were taken on a tour of the farm buildings to look for and make notes on safety features which' they observed. Alvin Blades, Assistant Agricultural Representative led a discussion on the tour and the observations made, A fine class of cows was judged by all those present. Ken Holliday, 4- H Dairy Calf Club Leader, was the official judge on the class. A group of slides on safety in farm tractor operation were shown to the group. Assisting with the meeting were Ron Werry, Assistant 4-H Dairy Calf Club Leader and Robert Holliday, 4-H Grain Club Leader. The next meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis 4-H Grain Club will be held on Wednesday, July 8th, 1959. The next meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis! 4-H Dairy Calf Club will be held in conjunction with the Ontario County Holstein Club Annual Twilight meet- ing at the farm of Mr. Ken Holliday, Brooklin, on July 22nd, 1969. ---- The members of the Port Perry 4- H Dairy and Grain Clubs and the Scott Junior Dairy Calf Club met at the farm of Larry Doble, Uxbridge, R, 8 on Thursday, June 25, 1969, ing SRI Asan my ad aia an a a Port Perry Rod And Gun Club On Sunday, June. 21st Port Perry was invaded by sixty members of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters Inc., at the summer meeting meeting was the best attended that has been held for some time, some of thé delegates to the meeting brought their lunch and family, and enjoyed their lunch at the park while the re- maining fifty of us went to Jackson's restaurant for a chicken dinner. This is the second time that the meeting has been held in Port Perry in the 18 years that the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club has been affiliated lers and Hunters, the last time that they were here was three years ago. The boys like to come to Port Perry and this year has proved it. There were many good suggestions that were brought out on the various committee reports that give the var- fous Club delegates data that they can take home to their clubs, which boils down that the information that is taken home from these meetings may not effect some Clubs but they can all get some good from the data that is being brought forward. A very interesting report brought forward by the delegate from the Port Perry Club Ott Hamilton which he brought out the point on water skiing, and safety afloat, Water Skiing, surf board rid- ing and other methods, now there has to be two persons in the boat, one to drive while the other has to watch the skiier. It is now law that there be anyone skiing from a period from 1 hour after sunset to sunrise is guilty of an offence, there were many fine suggestions that were brought fore- ward on safety afloat, they being, 1. Keep to the right when meeting ap- proaching craft. 2. The boat being overtaken has the right of way, 8, You must give to the boat approach- ing you in the "danger zone"--right hand side from dead ahead to slightly more than right angle. 4. Sail boats have the right-of-way over power 'boats. 6. Fishing boats have the right-of-way but are not allowed to fish in channels. ~~Boats leaving wharves have no right-of-way until clear. Other suggestions that were brought forward on this report were as follows: 1. In the case of an accci- dent hang on to the boat, never leave till rescued. 2. Do not overload the boat. Keep your boat away from swimmers. 4. Do not stand up or fool in the boat. 6. Know the control and operation of your boat. 6, Non-swim- mers should always wear life jacket. 7. Never change positions in the small craft. 8. Know the areas in which you are boating. 9. Watch where you are going and beware of strong cur- rents. . 10. If beating at night the "rules of the road" navigation lights and right-of-way. There will be no further meetings of Port Perry Rod and Gun Club till the opening of the fall and winter season in September when the fall and winter activities start. LIVE BETTER Electrically .... with an..ELECTRIC WATER Ma HEATER The meeting was called to order by John Leask, 4-H Grain Club Presi- dent. David Mosienko led the group in the 4-H Pledge. - The group was taken on a tour of the farm to make notes on farm safe- ty. Following the tour Alvin Blades, Assistant Agricultural Representative led a discussion of the observations made, } A group of slides on farm tractor safety and fuel storage were shown. The group also had a discussion on rural safe driving. Leslie Smith, Port Perry 4-H Dairy , Calf Club Leader and Rae Litt, Port Perry 4-H Grain Club Leader, assist- ed with the meeting. Refreshments were served to all. George Smith thanked Mr. Doble on behalf of those present for the won- derful accommodation and refresh- ments. . The next meeting of the Port Perry 4-H Grain Club will be held on Tues- , day, July 14th. The next meeting of the Port Perry 4-H Dairy Calf Club will be held in conjunction with the Holstein Twilight meeting on Wed- | District Doings AJAX WANT NO PART OF METRO AREA AJAX--The town council went on record on Monday night opposing' any suggestion that it become a part of Metropolitan Toronto. Mayor Wm, Parish told council that he was con- concerned with the many reports ap- pearing in the news about the expan- sion of Metro's borders to include the surrounding municipalities, and said that the town should state its views now as being opposed. This town has all the services it re- quires, we don't need any from Metro, but if we don't stand up and say so, we may find ourselves a part of Metro," said Mayor Parish. "They won't give us representation on Met- ro's planning board. We are poor re- lations in that case, and we would find ourselves much poorer. CIRCUS COMPANY FOLDS LIONS LEFT IN LURCH The Garden Bros. Circus which was to appear in Stouffville on Monday night June 29th, and in Markham this Saturday, has become in-operative, according to an announcement appear- ing in this week's Tribune. As a re- sult, both Stouffville and Markham- Unionville Lions who were sponsoring the show, have been left "holding the bag". Both clubs had hundreds of dollars in tickets sold and are now forced with the task of refunding. The two Lions Clubs held a joint meeting this week, and agreed rather than present a show of inferlor cali- bre, the ticket money should be re- funded. TEENAGER'S THREATS FORCE CLAREMONT TO CLOSE HALL Teen age gangs in hot rods and on motorcycles have been threatening to invade Claremont, Uxbridge and Stouffville over the past few week- ends and tear the places apart. At both Uxbridge and Stouffville, police were forewarned and were ready for them. One Stouffville re- sident said that about 20 hot rods with Hollywood mufflers invaded the 'town a week ago. They converged from the east, then came down every side street, almost like an army. The police sent them packing, before any trouble started. The same thing hap- peened at Uxbridge and in each case the gangs said they would be back. Last week-end, it came closer to home. A motorcycle gang which had previously threatened to invade Clare- mont and beat up all teenagers hit the town Saturday night. They thought they would break up the weekly Saturday night dance in the halls. Sponsors of the dance hear- ing of the intended invasion, cancelled the dance. The stores doused their lights and locked their doors. They hope it will be quiet this Sat- usday night. One storekeeper told the News this week, "I told my wife, if 1 was not there, and she saw this gang coming, to lock the door, put out the lights and phone the police." In Pickering village, police sent a gang of motorcyclists on their way Saturday night, after the gang had first refused to pay a restaurant bill. They paid and they left. Let's hope for good. SUMMER WATER RESTRICTIONS IN FORCE IN STOUFFVILLE With sudden rush of hot weather, the draw on the local water supply mounted to a quarter million gallons a day and reservoirs were depleted to a dangerous level. The new and larg- er pump was immediately brought into play and the supply restored, but to curb any further sudden depletion, the Stouffville Public Utilities Com- mission has issued restriction orders on the use of lawn taps for watering. Residents have been warned by the use of a sound truck and last week by mail that they must not water lawns and gardens except at the hours and times specified. The Commission feels that the hours allowed are quite ample for householder use, but must ad- hereed to or the service will be dis- continued as provided for by local by- law. If there is general public co- operation, there will be ample water. A new reservoir is on the Utility program for this year, but construc- tion has not commenced as yet, and total storage capacity is limited to less than three quarters of a million gal- lons. Scugog Last Friday was reported to be an unique evening when the Head Me- morial church, in spite of the stifling "heat, was filled to capacity, to view the fashion parade of Wedding , Resday, July 22nd, 1959 at Brooklin, Gowns of the last 81 years, Eight to Nine PORT PERRY VILLAGE-- Boyd, Terrance Butson, Elaine Carnegie, Gordon Cawker, Joel Clark, Lawrence Cook, Jack Davey, Diane Derno, Margaret Edenborough, Douglas Garrard, Colin Harper, John Irvine, Herbert Kennedy, Ronald Lane, Ross Levenson, Sheila Linstead, Ilda McNeil, Beverley Morrow, Carol Newman, David Pascoe, Doreen Prentice, Nancy Raines, James Reader, Audrey Smith, Sharyn Tripp, George Tummonds, Grant - Wallis, Arlene Williams, John REACH TOWNSHIP } Baker, James Bryant, Lucille Callaghan, Susan Cervenka, Frank Clarke, Joyce Franks, Richard Lawrence, Jacqueline Lukas, Helen Marsh, Beverley McCaig, Edwin Short, Jack Successful Candidates Grades CENTRAL ONTARIO HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT -- Spencer, Robertt Taylor, Jean Taylor, Larry Thaxter, Warren Vernon, Beverley Zoet, Thea PRINCE ALBERT 8.8.

Blackstock ST. JOHN'S (Anglican) CHURCH The first visit to our Church.by the Right Rev. G. B. Snell, Ph.D. D.D., Suffragan Bishop of Toronto, took place on Sunday 28th June, 1959, and it was an extremely happy occasion It was the 109th anniversary of the Church, and incorporated the admin- istration of the ancient, Apolistic and holy Rite of Confirmation. EE haat ry There was a very good attendance of members and friends, and the or- ganist and choir, both junior and sen- ior, were responsible for the musical portion of the service of worship, which was conducted by Canon Chap- erlin, Two young men were admitted to full membership of the Church by the Laying on of ha) by the Bishop. They avere Ardis John of Dr. and Mrs. John McArthur; a Leonard Saunders, son of Mrs. George Saunders and the late Mr. George Saunders, a former Churchwarden. Biship Snell preached a most ap- propriate sermon on "God's family-- the Church", and in his quiet and thoughtful manner showed how all Christian people are really one family in God through His Church. His theme was full of the "wisdom from on high", and was certainly appre- ciated by all present. The Bishop was accompanied by Mus. Snell, and had lunch with Canon and Mrs. Chaperlin afterwards. We are thankful for his visit and encouragement, During the service an exceedingly nice brass Font Ewer was dedicated by Biship Snell. The gift is another one from Mr. W. Nelson Campbell, and we are so glad he was able to be present at the service. After the ded- ication Canon Chaperlin conveyed the ewer to Mr. Campbell and requested him to place it in the font of the Church, which he very gracefully did. On Saturday, June 27th, 1969, a very pretty wedding was taken by Canon Chaperlin at Sonya, when Jas. Allen Strong and and Norma Frances Alger were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The wedding was scheduled to take place on the Alger lawn, where many guests had assembled, but just at the commencement of the ceremony the thunder and lightning came and the rain descended, so that all had to take refuge in the house, where the cere- mony was held. Nevertheless it was a happy time for all, and a splendid reception was held which everyone en- joyed, wishing the happy couple all blessings for their future life together. UXBRIDGE COUNCIL MUST GIVE APPROVAL BEFORE INDIGENTS GET SERVICE , Uxbridge Town Council has decided it is not a collection agency and pass- ed a resolution at Tuesday's meeting that in future, when bills are present. 'ed to Council for collection by private agencies, for payment, for supposedly indigent persons, Council must first have given approval for the goods or services which were rendered. An account was presented to the Council by the Uxbridge Medical Cen- tre' for treatment to a person, who is claimed to be an indigent, but accord- ing to reports "has money to buy other things", and Coucillor Stan Beach raised the question if Co neil should accept the responsibility of iy. ing accounts of these people to private business,
